#49 - When Grief Takes Over - The WHY Matters Podcast

Send a textIn this episode of The WHY Matters Podcast, Jessica and Will share an honest, unfiltered conversation about grief in real time. After the loss of Jessica’s closest friend of 31 years, Doug, they explore what grief truly looks like — messy, isolating, and unpredictable. Jessica opens up about the anger, guilt, numbness, and exhaustion that come with loss, the pressure to keep showing up, and why sharing grief while you’re in it matters. This episode isn’t about fixing grief, but about honoring it and learning how to live alongside it, one day at a time.@02:05 — Why We’re Talking About Grief@07:45 — Losing a Best Friend@12:40 — When Grief Takes Over@19:30 — The Messy Parts of Grief@31:55 — Hiding Pain From the World@42:35 — Carrying Them With You@1:06:56 — Living With GriefLeave us a voice message!
